Window screens play a vital role in helping keep critters out of your home so you can appreciate the spring time. Not only that, but they also provide a few essential features for the comfort and beauty of your Calgary home. When picking the proper replacement window screens this season, here are a few things to think about:

Transparency – Not only should your window screens be useful and durable, but they should also be easy to look out of.

Aluminum screens are also a well-liked option if you have small children or animals, because their material is harder to tear.
